Snowy and Bright MLK day

We had a beautiful day in the snow. MK loves his sled! Happy MLK day - one of my favorite holidays - this day and Fourth of July rank high for me. Enjoy the video too. Cheers!

Christmas 2008 and beyond

It was such a great Christmas for us all. I flew to Michigan with Michael Kirby for four days to visit with friends and family. MK loved the flight - looking out the window and flirting with EVERYONE. He was great and the flights were short and on time. Grandma and Grandpa Callam were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed time spent with them and then all the others as they arrived throughout the week. Our only disappointment was not being able to see Nana and Papa from Ohio.

We then flew home to Matthew and Huck on Christmas day. Again our flight was wonderfully on time and short. We skirted all the delays and bad weather. Matthew had decorated the house and had done all the shopping so we had a lovely meal and Christmas celebration at home. Santa brought a great toy for MK that he plays and plays with.

The final few pictures were from a pancake breakfast we had at our friends house. The vest was a gift from friends who traveled to Canada this summer and brought back the Scottish Tartan for the Douglas Clan.

I hope this post finds all of you well and staying warm both in your heart and elsewhere. It is cold in Maine. We are looking forward to the festivities and speeches surrounding the upcoming inauguration. Again, despite your political bent this is such a wonderful moment in history for all Americans. Much love - Cathy, Matthew, MK and Huck
